ATTORNEY.

.To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, CHARLES A. BAILEY La citizenof the United States,residing in Cromwell, in the county of Middlesexand IState"of'Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Toy Pistol, ofwhich the following is a specification.

",My-inventionrelates to the classof toy pistols designed-for explodingpaper caps, and an object of my invention, among others, is to provide adevice of this class with sinitaining such 'caps disposed lengthwisethereon. x v 7 One form of device embodying my invention and :in theconstruction and use of which the objects herein set out, as well asaccompanying drawings, in which Figure l isa view in side elevation of atoy pistol embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the same. Fig.3 is a view looking at thefront end .of said pistol.

Fig. 4: is a. View in side elevation of a portion of my improved pistolillustrating me- .ohanical means for feeding the tape. In theaccompanying drawings the nu- 'meral 5 indicates the frame of myimproved toy pistol, said frame having a tape cham- Y her 6, preferablyopen on one side, a barrel 7 extension 7 and a handle 8. An anvil 9 islocated at the top of the frame and a hammerlO, pivotally mounted in theframe, and V of any desired construction, and operated in any desiredmanner, is adapted to strike said anvil under the force of a springconnected fiwith the hammer in a manner to throw it forward against theanvil.

A guide 11, preferably of curved form, 5 comprises one wall of thechamber 6, said guide being secured at one end to a stud l2 projectingfrom the frame, the opposite end f said guide being pressed into contactwith theface of the anvil. This guide may be constructed of spring metalto effect this (purpose A tape supporting stud 13 pro- ,jects laterallyfrom the frame at the front end of the chamber 6 and it has a retainingfinger 14' projecting at an angle to the main v a part of the pin as anaid in retaining a roll ofztape'composed of the paper caps in place. iIn the operation of the pistol the finger of the'operator is; placed onthat part of the Ytape resting on'the guide 11 and is moved along thecurved part of the guide to move 'Tnn STATES PATENT onnio CHARLES A.BAILEY, or oRoMWELL, CONN'ECTICU'1.,

caps in the tape. V

In 'Fig. 4 of the drawings means are shown for mechanically feeding thetape along the guide, in the mechanism shown a slide 15 is mounted forreciprocating movement on the frame, this slide having a retainingfinger16 projecting through a slot 17 in the frame to guide it in itsmovements, a hammer 18 projecting from the upper end of the slideinposition' to strike the anvil 9 whenthe slide is forced forward as bya spring 19.

A feed finger 20 projects from the slide in position to engage the papertape 21 and -move it along the guide 22 when the slide is shoulder 26 toreceive a cooking shoulder 27 formed at the lower front edge of theslide. In the operation of this part of the device the slide is movedbackwardly by pressure upon the trigger 28 until the edge 27 engages theshoulder 26 to hold the slide in its rearward position. In this rearwardmovement the finger 20 engaging the tape presses the spring 22-away fromthe anvil and moves the tape with the next cap thereon into position tobe fired.

In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, I havedescribed the rinciples of my invention, together with the device whichI now consider to rep-resent the best embodiment thereof; but I desireto have it understood that the device shown is only illustrative, andthat the invention may be carried out by other means.
